SOUP DISASTER! Something (the strong-flavoured beer?) made the soup really bitter and after over an hour of preparing it, I had to throw the whole thing away and prepare…

Emergency miso soup: four cups of water with chicken soup mix, boiled, turn off heat, toss in four cut-up green onions, 4 tbsp dark red miso (whisking the miso into half a cup of plain water first so it doesn’t clump). Whisk, serve with a dot of toasted-sesame oil… delicious! (everybody had seconds)
